Common questions

Before you enquire

Is this the same as a border run?

No. A border run is normally used by an eligible traveller seeking a new visa-exempt entry. This service is for people travelling to Laos to apply for a proper Thai Tourist, Education, Non-B or Non-O visa. If you only need a new eligible entry, see our Chiang Mai border-run service.

When is payment requested?

Payment is requested after we have assessed your situation and confirmed that your case can proceed.

How long must I remain in Laos?

Most applications take around 5–10 working days, but processing can take less time with proper preparation. Keep your return date open until the visa is ready.

How do you reduce the risk of problems?

We assess the case and check the required document file before asking you to proceed. Once accepted, we prepare the application and stay responsible for the process until the result. The formal decision remains with the Royal Thai Embassy.

Can CMVR help with transport from Chiang Mai?

Optional one-way transport may be available and is priced separately. Availability depends on the date and route.
